It had been two months since Bane had locked the police force underground. Two months since he had taken over the city. No. What was the word he used? "Liberated". Yeah. Right.
Two months of hiding, of running, of moving place to place. Trying to keep Jim Gordon out of sight. Trying to watch out for the orphanage. Trying to keep in touch with his partner, trapped under the cement.
He was never still. Constantly moving, constantly working, constantly going - unable to answer the hundred questions he had, even as he scrawled the bat symbol on each corner that the trucks passed. They would find the right one. They would find the bomb. They would find a way out.
And maybe, just maybe, he'd find Bruce Wayne. Whether or not they found him alive was another question entirely.
He wasn't, however, looking for the other board members of Wayne Industries. Without knowing where the bomb had come from, he had no reason to look for them. It was chance that brought him to Wayne towers that afternoon. Chance and a lead - an underground supply route that bypassed Bane's men ran through the building (or so someone had whispered). He needed to connect with them if he was going to keep the orphanage from falling apart, and that was what took him there.
But no one was in the first two floors of the building. And he was already not expecting to find anyone on the third....
